🔗 MacBook Neo: Apple Makes A Bacon, Egg And Cheese Sandwich
To explain it in breakfast terms: Apple can’t get itself excited about making and selling a $6 takeout bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an English muffin. But it’ll apply an almost terrifying amount of institutional energy towards the development of a $60 hotel restaurant breakfast.

In amongst the endless posts about Apple this week - quite simply the best post and even includees the Apple video - which is the only other standout piece of media this week.
🔗 I’ve never had the experience of parenting a 6-year-old child. But I’ve dealt with MacOS system.
To just choose one from the post …
- Oh, your USB devices stopped working? Huh. Isn’t that strange? Seeing as your Mac is under-performing – for some odd reason that Software Update has no knowledge of, honestly – perhaps this period of limited productivity would be a good time to install that System Software Update that’s been loitering in the Notifications tray, like an untipped bellhop?

It’s VCs’ job to predict the future in all sorts of directions, and be extremely confident about those predictions, and also be wrong 9 out of 10 times. Remember that next time you hear a VC say…anything.
Not choosing any particular VC over any other - but you know who I am talking about. Right❓

Thank you. I get complaints about bad tech - valid.
It is also time to start complaining about how bad people are in even understanding the tech that they spend so much money on. Notifications is one - but the list could be pretty endless …
One that keeps pushing through on my feeds …
On ’Notion’ it was easy - why can’t Craft ….

A Zurich court is expected to rule on the case in March. Whatever the outcome, Palantir has already lost the only contest that matters: the one for public perception. For a company that sells the ability to see around corners, they apparently never thought to search “The Streisand Effect.”

Congratulations on saying the biggest number, Paramount. $111B for a company that a year ago had a market cap of around $20B. For a company that shrunk in their most recent quarter, and in fact, for the entire year, with revenue down 5% to $37.3B. Paramount may not be buying the Titanic, but only because they already own that IP.
